When we showed up at Neumo’s last night, the setlist times indicated that poppy Glaswegians Camera Obscura would be playing from 10:35pm-12:35am. Two hours of twee? Are you kidding? We thought (in our best Tracy Morgan voice) that was krazy, but thankfully, the band only played the standard hour plus encore.

SIFF saved one of its most intriguing film events for the last weekend of the fest: freaky director Tod Browning's silent film The Unknown, featuring Lon Cheney and a young Joan Crawford as circus folk. Creepy and twisted, the film itself warrants a viewing, but throw in an original score performed live by North Carolina-based band Portastatic, and this becomes a bonafide must-see. Seattlest talked to Mac McCaughan, indie rock godfather, about his work on The Unknown.
